- Vegetarian fast-food chain Amy's has closed its last brick-and-mortar restaurant, Amy's Drive Thru in Rohnert Park, California, on March 8.
- The closure marks the end of the company's ten-year venture into physical fast-food locations, which began with the opening of the first organic, vegetarian drive-thru in the United States.
- Amy's Drive Thru was initially celebrated as a revolutionary concept, offering organic, plant-based options like veggie burgers and pizzas in a traditional drive-thru setting.
- In a farewell message, the company stated its mission was to serve delicious, organic food and announced it would donate remaining ingredients to local food banks.
- While the restaurants are gone, the Amy's brand will continue through its frozen-food arm, Amy's Kitchen, which sells vegetarian and vegan meals in grocery stores across the U.S.
